Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No.79 Haydock Avenue, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the open and spacious character of Haydock Avenue and create an overbearing impact on the neighbouring property's outlook, conflicting with the development plan.
